You Can't Stop What's Coming: Couple of Months
Tilda is so freaking unprepared that she’s stooped to asking
that bastard George
to be her date for the awards show.
My Monthly Movie Mood Swings (2007):
January:
H.W. Plainview & Daniel Plainview from There Will Be Blood
-
Wherein baggage carries over
from the previous year only with heavier demands to deliver but it’s all so eclectic hectic,
who has time to think?!
February:
Peggy & Pencil from Year of the Dog
-
Wherein we find that the purest form of love
can only be found in two personalities who have no way of saying how they really feel about each other…….
March:
Maria & Aurea from House of Sand
-
Wherein I talk to my own reflection
over how to navigate through my continuous map of dreams (a.k.a. my résumé).
April:
Edna Turnblad & The 60’s from Hairspray
-
Wherein I party
like a hot new connection.
May:
Jerry Sunborne & Audrey Burke from Things We Lost in the Fire
-
Wherein I make the decision
to be of displaced residence for health’s sake.
I use up a lot of gas and patience.
June:
Lady Murasaki & Hannibal Lecter from Hannibal Rising
-
Wherein I am at the peak
of my hottie-ness despite the fact that I have blood and sweat on my face.
(It’s my birthday and I try to be a cool host.)
July:
Park Il-sun & Cha Young-goon from I’m a Cyborg, But That’s OK
-
Wherein everything is still cool, colorful and electric
but like all things lit in neon, the energy begins to dissipate and I realize my time in the highlight is dwindling down so it’s back to the dim, to the black, to the back.
Contrary to popular belief, I do not let lightning strike me.
August:
Margo & The City of Paris from Paris Je T’aime
-
Wherein I become contemplative
about my connectivity to ruins and whether or not to leave what behind.
I start to take daily walks on footpaths that pop up inside my head.
September:
Mariane Pearl & Danny Pearl from A Mighty Heart
-
Wherein I start to feel
a great absence for familiar faces and the cherished safety of routine.
With the burden of memory, reality gestates.
October:
Mrs. Lovett & Sweeney Todd from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
-
Wherein I start to get sentimental
and try to convince others that no, it is in fact not a costume but the totally honest makings of an ideal breakdown.
November:
Kate Burroughs & Robert Hanssen from Breach
-
Wherein regret and doom starts to set in
as the question looms, “has it all just been a waste of time?” needs to be answered only to get the reply that, “you’re doing it all to yourself.”
December:
Fiona Anderson & Grant Anderson from Away From Her
-
Wherein I come to the conclusion
that it really was a year I’d like to forget but am I allowed to?
Not a chance.
2008 So Far:
January:
Mrs. Carmody & The Mist from The Mist
-
Wherein I warn myself
to be careful about things I would never have before and try to find guidance from an absent source (that would be my sanity if you were wondering).
So dear readers, what movie couples represented YOUR 2007 moods, swings and happenings? 0;)
And That’s That.
Tony, Tony! That bastard George said no!
